The possibility has arisen after the World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey hinted Jamaica could be declared non-compliant because of possible delays in arranging an audit of drug-testing procedures in the Caribbean nation.

Such a move would lead to the country's top athletes being banned from major international tournaments such as the Olympics irrespective of whether they themselves have done anything wrong.

But Dr Warren Blake, president of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association, told The Times: "I don't think it's a possibility at all.

"What would London have been without Jamaica? What would 2012 have been without our athletes? It's not going to happen."

The Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission is under scrutiny following claims from its former head, Renee Anne Shirley, who revealed in August that only one out-of-competition test had been carried out in the five months leading up to last year's Olympics.

That led Wada to seek an audit of the organisation, but Jadco has said it cannot accommodate such a process until next year.

However, there were suggestions from Herb Elliott, the chairman of Jadco, on Wednesday that Wada could now visit the island next week.

Talking to Jamaica's Nationwide Radio station, Elliott said: "Wada will be sending three officers to Jamaica next Monday and Tuesday." Wada did not confirm nor deny the report.

Jamaica came under the spotlight after a clutch of athletes including the sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson returned positive tests earlier this year.

Shirley, who began her job as executive director of Jadco last July, left her post in February after becoming frustrated at the lack of progress.

Leading Jamaican athletes such as Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake face regular tests as part of the IAAF's international testing pool.
